Law School Registrar

Registration

First-Year Students

Registration for first-year law students is conducted by the Duquesne University School of Law in late August during Orientation. Questions concerning this process should be directed to the Law School Admissions Office.

The financial obligation for places reserved by a registered student who does not subsequently attend cannot be cancelled unless a written (typed) notification of the decision not to attend is given to the Law School Registrar before the first day of classes.  Notification received on or after the opening day of classes is subject to the official withdrawal policy.

(The following was adapted From the Academic Bulletin)

The registration period for all first-year students, as indicated in the School of Law calendar, precedes the commencement of classes. All first-year students must register in person. For a first-year student’s registration to be complete, he/she must have provided the Law School with a passport-size photograph of himself/herself and the Law School must have received a certified copy of his/her undergraduate and graduate transcripts. (All transcripts must be issued by the registrar of his/her undergraduate or graduate schools—hand-delivered transcripts are not acceptable.) A student whose registration is not complete will not be permitted to sit for any examinations and will be dismissed from school. Registration for all first-year students is held in the School of Law. First-year students may not change the course section to which they have been assigned.

Registrations will not be processed or recognized as complete registrations unless satisfactory financial arrangements have been made for the payment of tuition and fees. Tuition and fees may be paid in cash, by check, credit card (MasterCard or Discover), or by utilizing the University student financing program.

All charges and computations made at registration will be computer audited. Resulting corrections will be either credited to the student’s account for overpayment or billed to the student for underpayment
